Also got the problem!
Well, here's another guy having severe experiences with this "small app-huge memory allocation"-problem. I have written 3 small apps (VB.net) that are now constantly running (simultaniuosly) on my computer. They range from about 15 lines to maybe 200 lines of code each. (i.e. very small apps) Memory consumption at startup for each of these sweeties is between 12 and 14 Mb(!) with none of them are making any strange calls etc. For example that 15-liner only uses a few buttons and a few text boxes.
I got very surprised trying this "minimize and restore" since it actually makes these apps reduce memory allocation to about 400-500kb minimized and about 2Mb restored!. So instead of together using about 35 Mb they are now, after minimize+restore, 7-8Mb in total size. This makes quite a huge difference since I also have other software running trying to consume my precious RAM. Someone have any idea of how to make the .net code behave a bit nicer already at startup? Doesn't seem like everyone have this problem or maybe they just haven't checked their taskmanager...:)
Thanks in advance!
